I like to hike, kayak, read, climb and relax. I'm really into sustainable agriculture, alternative energy, and rock climbing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and see new places. My girlfriend and I are traveling the country at the moment and want to make new friends along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I invented an instrument. Its called a rotaharp, and it uses a motor to play the notes. You mute the notes you don't want to play, and the motor pushes a mallot around to play the notes you don't play. I can't say it sounds good, but it sure looks cool

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching people about physics! I want to make the world slightly less scared of physics and math, because I think they're so cool. I work at a battery company as an algorithm engineer, so we can talk about electric vehicles, green energy, solar, start-ups, and all that kind of stuff. I also love learning about agriculture and sustainable communities.

My girlfriend, Lydia, has lead workshops on rooftop farms and taught intro environmental science to all ages. She's working for an education technology company right now and loves to talk about all things education, tech, and the intersection between the two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you my opinion on if your house would be good for solar + battery, and I can tune your piano a bit. Lydia loves sharing baking tips, fun facts about bees, and cultivating yoga/meditation practices.
